Objectives

• Identify the ways in which online interaction has changed human interactions
• Collaborate using online presentation software
• Teach your peers what you have learned by designing an interactive lesson

Focus Content Standards

• RI.11-12.7. Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.
• W.11-12.6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information.
• W.11-12.7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
• W.11-12.8. Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.
• W.11-12.9. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
• SL.11-12.1. Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11–12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
• SL.11-12.2. Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.
• SL.11-12.4. Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks.
• SL.11-12.5. Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.
• SL.11-12.6. Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating a command of formal English when indicated or appropriate.

Procedure

• Choose a group (3-5) and a topic from the list.
  • Sign up your group and topic.
  • Note: The size of your group changes the expectations for the whole assignment, so choose carefully.
• Research your topic, focusing on answering the question: How has online interaction changed the way that we approach this topic?
  • Here is the group research guide.
    • And here is my completed example.
  • Here is the individual research guide.
• Sign up for a Prezi Account and learn how to use the software.
• Design the "Lecture" Portion of your lesson plan (on Prezi). Each person in your group is responsible for 4 minutes of "lecture time", so your total time is the number of students in your group multiplied by 4.
• Design your Know, Believe and Do Goals, as well as the activities that will assess student achievement of these goals.
  • Here is My Example Lesson Page
• Teach the lesson to the rest of the class.
• Look at your assessment results and reflect on how the lesson went.

Differentiation

• You may choose your groups and your topic, based on interest.
• While each person in your group is responsible for contributing equitably, the manner in which you contribute can vary. Work to your strengths.
• If you would like to work alone, or you would like to present your lesson in an online format, see me to discuss that option.

Evaluation

• This assignment has three separate evaluations:
  • The content and delivery of your Prezi Presentation
  • The content and delivery of your lesson plan
  • Your individual reflection on the assignment as a whole (this will be used to evaluate your contribution to the assignment as well)

Due Date:

• Your Prezi Presentation is due on Tuesday, March 6th (email the link to sthsmedia@gmail.com)
• Your Completed Lesson Plan is due at the end of the period on Monday, March 12th
• Your Lesson will be presented during the week of March 13th-16th
• Your reflection is due Sunday, March 18th
